Yes, it can. You can work this out by using Pythagoras' theorem (a² + b² = c²).

Add up the squares of the two smaller numbers (8² + 15²) = 289

Square root the sum of the two squares and see if it matches the bigger number. (√289) = 17.

How do you determine a figure’s scale factor?

german

To find a scale factor between two similar figures, find two corresponding sides and write the ratio of the two sides. If you begin with the smaller figure, your scale factor will be less than one. If you begin with the larger figure, your scale factor will be greater than one.
